Some Google Pixel 9 Pro XL users are experiencing intermittent and unreliable wireless charging performance across various accessories. Reports from Reddit and the Pixel community forum detail the issue, with users encountering inconsistent charging behavior even when using Google's own second-generation charging stand.

Some users have noted that their devices display "odd behavior" when wirelessly charging, such as starting to charge and then abruptly stopping. Others have reported excessive heat generation and sporadic charging with MagSafe Qi chargers.

Google support has confirmed that they are aware of the problem and are working on a solution. In the meantime, users are advised to keep a wired charger handy or explore potential workarounds suggested by Google support.

It's worth noting that similar charging issues have been reported for the smaller Pixel 9 Pro model, although to a lesser extent. This marks another instance of flagship Pixel devices facing charging-related problems, following the USB-C charging port issues experienced by Pixel 8 Pro owners.

While Google has not provided an estimated timeline for a fix, it is likely that a software update will address the issue. Users can keep an eye out for updates in the coming months.
